Caramelised Mangoes to Bid the Mango Season Farewell

We were shopping at a small grocery store the other day when I noticed that they had a bargain bin; my Scottish heritage took over and we bought pretty much one of everything.

Most of the things were fine, but there were some mangoes in the mix that were just... well, they were clearly put in the bargain bin for a reason. I ate one by itself and it very nearly destroyed my great love of mango.

Making caramelised mangoes is a great way is using up mangoes that are just a bit past it (which most of them will be now that they're going out of season!), and are also a wonderful way of sneaking toffee onto your breakfast plate. The mango skins make the perfect bowl to scoop the deliciousness from.

If mangoes are well and truly gone from your local grocery, experiment with other fruit (bananas, oranges or even grapefruit, for example).
